Kid, are you excited for me?

Episode 97: Our First Encounter

I brought Taehyung straight home from school and told him everything without hiding anything.

"Actually, Joo Ji-hoon was in the art history lecture I'm hearing today."

최여주

"That bastard and I ended up doing a team project together, so I asked the professor to switch partners."

김태형

"So you changed it?"

최여주 image

최여주

"Why? If you don't change it, I'll go find it myself."

김태형 image

김태형

"If you won't change it, I'll go and get on my knees and beg you to change it."

최여주 image

최여주

"You don't have to. I changed it for you."

최여주 image

최여주

"And no matter what happens, don't get on your knees and ask for favors."

I was always grateful and touched when Taehyung worried about me.

But that doesn't mean you can get down on your knees.

Even if you kneel, I won't kneel. Taehyung, I will never let you kneel.

김태형

"But if that bastard talks to you again, call me right away. I'll be right there."

최여주

"okay"

최여주

"I feel secure because you're here."

It was truly a great happiness to meet Taehyung.

At first, I never dreamed that we would end up like this.

최여주

"Taehyung, when we first met, do you remember?"

김태형 image

김태형

"Of course I remember. How could I forget that day?"

The day Taehyung and I first met,

Our family moved next door to Taehyung's.

That was when I was about 5 years old, so I was really little.

"Hey, you're my friend. We'll be going to the same kindergarten from now on, so let's be friends."

최여주

"Hello...! I have a question for you" ((Hey

"The female lead is so bright and bubbly. Our Taehyung is so shy."

최여주 image

최여주

"Taehyung, let's be friends."

김태형 image

김태형

"Friend...?" ((Little by little, he tilted his head

최여주 image

최여주

"Yeah! Dude!"

최여주 image

최여주

"You were really shy at first."

김태형 image

김태형

"That's right. I was really shy around everyone except my parents."

김태형 image

김태형

"But you approached me first."

최여주 image

최여주

"Am I the first person who asked you to be my friend?"

김태형 image

김태형

"It wasn't the first time... I hadn't let my guard down."

최여주 image

최여주

"No, why?"

김태형 image

김태형

"Well... did you have any feelings at the time? Strangely, you didn't feel any sense of caution."

I often think these days that if fate really exists, it might be Taehyung and I.

최여주 image

최여주

"I remember that too. The day I cried so much because of candy."

김태형 image

김태형

"Oh, back in kindergarten?"

One day, at kindergarten, everyone was given an equal amount of candy.

I cherished that candy so much that when I was playing at the kindergarten playground and tried to put it in my mouth, it fell into the sand.

I don't cry easily, but I remember crying over a candy because it was my favorite candy, so I just burst into tears.

최여주 image

최여주

"Haaaaaaah...!!"

Dododot-]

김태형 image

김태형

"Why are you crying?"

최여주 image

최여주

"My Satan...!! Hwaaaaah...!!"

Then you found my candy that had fallen on the sand and took the candy you had been saving out of your pocket and handed it to me.

김태형 image

김태형

"Okay, I'll ask you. Take this and don't cry."

최여주 image

최여주

"J, really, I'm going to eat it...?" ((Sniff

김태형 image

김태형

"Yeah! I don't need to eat it, right?" ((Smile

최여주 image

최여주

“Don’t you know how grateful I was to you back then?”

최여주 image

최여주

"It was just one candy, but it was the candy I really liked."

김태형 image

김태형

"Actually, I really liked that candy, so I saved it, but I gave it to you because you seemed to like it more than I did."

최여주 image

최여주

Touched-] "Taehyung..."

김태형 image

김태형

"If you're moved by something like this, what are you going to do later?"

김태형 image

김태형

"Then you should hold on to your heart tightly."
